Varbase CMS Datasheet: Enterprise Drupal, Ready on Day One

Enterprise Drupal, ready on day one.

Varbase gives government, nonprofit and enterprise teams a governed, AI-ready content platform on top of Drupal CMS. A build starts where most projects end: configured, secured and ready for production.

At a glance

• 299 modules enabled out of the box on a fresh install
• 26 Varbase recipes, on top of Drupal core and Drupal CMS
• 0 forks. 100% Drupal core and contributed code
• 3 governed editorial states: Draft, Published, Archived

What’s inside the datasheet

Six pages, written for the people who have to build on it and the people who have to sign it off.

• The three-layer recipe stack, and why there is no fork to maintain at upgrade time
• All 26 Varbase recipes, named
• How AI is granted role by role instead of switched on globally
• Editorial workflow, SEO, media and multilingual defaults as they ship
• Four screenshots from a live Varbase 11 install, not mockups
• A one-page technical summary you can hand to an architect

Why teams choose Varbase

Weeks become days

The setup work most projects spend their first sprints on is already applied.

You own the platform

Open source, no licence fee, no proprietary layer between your team and the code.

Upgrades stay a known path

Every recipe layer tracks Drupal’s official roadmap, so the next release is a planned upgrade, not a rebuild.
